What kind of wine should we drink on Double Ninth Festival?

Drink "chrysanthemum wine" on Double Ninth Festival. Jiujiu is homophonic with "long", which means "long" and "wine", hence the saying that Jiujiu should drink chrysanthemum wine.
In the golden month of September, chrysanthemums bloom proudly in the frost. Literati call September the "Chrysanthemum Month", common people call chrysanthemums "Nine Flowers", and Beijing regards chrysanthemum as one of its city flowers.
Due to the unique quality of chrysanthemum in resisting cold weather, it has become a symbol of vitality. It has unusual cultural significance to the ancients, who believed it to be a "longevity prolonger" and "immortality grass" that can make people stronger as they age.
In ancient times, chrysanthemum wine was brewed during the Double Ninth Festival of the previous year specifically for the Double Ninth Festival of the following year. On September 9th, people pick newly opened chrysanthemums and some green branches and leaves, mix them with the grain they are going to make wine, and then use all of them to make wine, which they will drink on September 9th of the following year.
Legend has it that drinking this wine can prolong one's life. The "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" states: "On September 9, wearing dogwood, eating lotus ears, and drinking chrysanthemum wine will make you live longer."
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, people added a variety of herbs to chrysanthemum wine, making it more effective. The preparation method is: decoct chamomile juice, use koji and rice to make wine, or add Chinese medicinal materials such as rehmannia, angelica, and wolfberry.
There is a clear record of this in "Eight Notes on Following Life" written by Gao Lian, which states that chrysanthemum wine is a very popular "fitness drink".

Analysis of the origin of the Double Ninth Festival: Harvest Festival

The origin of the Double Ninth Festival can be traced back to ancient times. According to legend, Double Ninth Festival is the day when Emperor Yuan attained enlightenment.
The earliest existing written record of Chongyang customs and activities can be found in Lüshi Chunqiu Ji, which states: "(In September) the chief minister is ordered to prepare for the harvest and collect the five essential crops. The harvest is stored in the imperial canopy and is handled with great respect and care. On this day, a great feast is offered to the emperor, and sacrifices are offered to the emperor, and the preparations are reported to him."
It can be seen that at that time there were activities to offer sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven and ancestors in September when the crops were harvested in order to thank the Emperor of Heaven and ancestors for their kindness. This is the original form of the Double Ninth Festival as a sacrificial activity in ancient times. "Miscellaneous Records of Western Capital" records that Jia Pelan, a palace lady in the Western Han Dynasty, said: "On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, people wear dogwood, eat puffball, and drink chrysanthemum wine, which is said to make people live longer." It is said that from this time on, the custom of praying for longevity on the Double Ninth Festival began. It is said that this was influenced by the ancient wizards (later Taoist priests) who pursued immortality and collected medicines for consumption. At the same time, there are large-scale banquets, which developed from the banquets celebrating the harvest in the pre-Qin period. "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" says: "On the ninth day of the ninth month, all people of all classes hold outdoor banquets together." Praying for longevity and feasting constitute the basic content of the Double Ninth Festival.
